Not far from the
Blagoveshchensk cloister there is one more Russian cell belonging to the monastery of Hilandar- a cell of the Sacred Trinity. It
has been revived by the celibate
monk Nifont (Krasnov).
It is belived that
the cell has been founded in XII century
by the Abbot Savva though there is no written evidence of the history of the
cell. At that time two merchant brothers have arrived to the monastery abandoning their wealth and honour for the
sake of their souls. Having lived some
years in monastery they realized
that dwelling in the monastery
filled with monks was a burden. Then
the Abbot Savva had blessed them on a hermetical life, and they have lodged in
the deserts, on a half-hour distance from monastery.
Here they have spent many years of the ascetic
life until they died. The katholikon named after the Saint Trinity was also constructed on the blessing of the Abbot
Savva.
